ALEX ANDRIA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE %.

The New York Herald says: "On the
next Presidential ticket whole'souled
Soutbe.ner should have the second place.
That will make the administration nation
al" bury the last remnant of the old ieud
and bring the North and South shoulder to
shoulder for all time to come" But how
could that be, when national" order to
return Northern and Southern flags alike
to their former owners calls down anath'
emss upon the head of the man who issued
it +? and, worse still, when that man, ma
tioualn President, is so impressed with the
fear of the power back of those anathemas,
that he hastens to revoke that order? How
ever. as the Herald'S favorite for Vice'Pres
ident is Mr.. Grady, as nationality, accord
ing to modern democratic ideas, means the
nreferment of ex.Union and the degrade
ton of OK Confederate soldiers, pensions to
the former at the expense OF the latter, and
q general subservience of the government
to the influence Of the G. A. r., Northern
republican organization, aud as Mr.. Grady
is ons of the Southern gushers who delight
in expressing their thanks to the North for
whipping the South. possibly the nation
slty" of the North might not revolt at MIR.
Grady's nomination, though it is highly
probable that many whole soued South
erners" would.

CARRIED OFF, NOT CAPTURED.-The
Petersburg correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch says: "Apropos OF the discussion
about the Confederate flags it may be stated
that none of the flags carried by the Peters.
burg troops were captured in battle. What
flags are missing were found and carried oil
by the Federal troops after the evacuation
Of the city. The battle.ilag of the Twelfth
regiment, honored by seventy-two bullet
holes received in the memorable battle of
Malvern Hill, and the flag ofthe Petersburg
Grays are among these. The latter rests as
a trophy in the Capitol of Wisconsin, and
courteous request for its return on the &C.
cssion of the recent anniversary OF that or
pspization received no notice."

THE PRESIDENT has granted leave OF alb.
sence, with full pay, and the time not to be
deducted from that of the regular iurlough,
to all members of the Army of the Potomac
in federal employ who may desire TO attend
the approaching reunion of that army. Is
there any thing in the statutes that conteTs
this power upon the President, and is the
exercise of it "jusiliable as an executive
sct''? But nobody invokes palsy upon him
for having granted the leave referred to,

GENERAL FAIRcHILD may Invoke palsy
upon the brain, tongue and hand of the
President, General futile may threaten him
with per: onal insult, and other bloody shirt
ers may say it required strong force to get
the Southern flags but it will take stronger
one to return them; but General Sherman
pats him patronizingly on the shoulder, and
tells him that as ne is President, he, the Gen'
eral, will stand by him. How thankful the
President and how grateful the country
should be 10 General Sherman. Yes, such

Mr.. HARRISON, of Danyille. says Vir-
GINA banker, short time ago, wrote to
bank in New York, asking it to negotiate
the sale of some first class bonds off Virgin
ia town or county, aud that the answer he
received was az follows: 1--WE regret to
say that we fud on examination that the
prejudice is so strong against Virginia
securities on account of the reputation OF
YOUR State debt that it will be very difficult
to do anything with your bonds. As you
will readily see such condition of things
as now exists with you Injuries the credit OF
every district in the State" Aud yet some
Virginians say Reputation has improved the
State by showing investors that taxes will
not be raised and others say the credit OF
the State has not been shattered by her at
tempts at reputation.

AFTER THE grand display in London yes
terday, judging from the accounts, the most
magnificent and imposing ever before made
in the world, and the patent manifestation
of the enthusiastic esteem and affection ofthe
English people for their excellent Queen,
future reports of the dsaiection ofthosepeo-
ple toward her and her government will re-
ceiye scant credence. English people are
endowed with plentiful amount OF plain
and good common sense, and knowing and
correctly approaching the blessings of a
conservative and stable government, availed
themselves of yesterdays opportunity to
make their gratitude for such u government
manifest to the whole world.

Mr.. BLAINE will probably receive the re-
publicsn nomination for the next fFesi'
dency, and, as the nominee, probably re-
ceiye the votes of oil republicans. But for
all that, there is no doubt of the fact that in
his own State the temperance people at
present are not enamored of him by reason
of his vain attempts to straddle the tenn
perancs question, and that the medical fra
ternity there are opposed to him because OF
his recent efforts in behalf of those who
profess to cure diseases on the spiritualistic
plan.

Irish banquet to Mr.. O'Brien in New York
but he was a prominent figure at Westmins-
ter Abbey, in London yesterday, during the
celebration of Queen Vctoria's jubilee.
Mr.. Sherman, though he also refused to at

had he been in London yesterday, would
have looked at the celebration, instead OF
taking part in it, as his less crafty rival did.

The theory Is quite prevalent that Ia

four and one-half inches. Occasionally
we meet with some ono who attempts to
get out Of the old ruts II he can do better
thereby. f. r. Branch has six acres Of
wheat this season which was sown four
and one-half inches deep, in ground that
had been piowed nine inches deep
During the winter and spring numerous
visitors to the field attempted to pull
branches Of the wheat out Of the ground
In each case The stalk would break OF
the roofs would show depth Of almost

could moi injure It. The stalk "stooled'
surprisingly and the result Is that the
sixty acres produced an average Of thirty
five bushels per acre. There were fifteen
acres Of the ground which yielded an
average Of more than forty bushels 10
